Strategy With a Smile (547)

Decisive Match! Dawn VS May!

Finishing her battle against Kite, Dawn moves onto the next round. Her opponent will be either May or Zoey depending on the battle outcome. It ends up being Dawn VS May in the finals. Who will win and receive the Wallace Cup Ribbon?

I am glad Dawn got another win under her belt. She's been needing one for the longest time and anothe rribbon. It'll be handy for her and her quest. Besides, there's al ot of time before the Grand Festival. Who's to say Piplup will remain Piplup? A lot of us thought May's Torchic would remain Torchic, but she ended up evolving into Combusken.

Satoshi vs Shigeru- This battle calls fake. Heracross withstood the Fire Blast AND Flamethrower, and flapped the fire away with those tiny wings?
Not to mention Charizard beating Blastoise after taking a Hydro Pump. And lifting it up when Blastoise is clearly heavier.

Pikachu vs Regice- This was just bad. Regice used REST and Volt Tackle OHKOed it

This is the same Pikachu that lost to a Magikarp afterward.

And now this. A first stage whiny starter beating an experienced Glaceon. Please. First off, if Haruka used Venusaur (which she shouldn't even have), she would have won. But tell me how that stupid little penguin beat Glaceon.

I'll tell you, the show is fake. There could at least be some degree of realism to the show (like you know, actually following Pokemon knowledge), but instead, we get these crappy battles. It never ends. Next in line, Pikachu beats Torterra

The problem is that Whirpool is so ridicolously overpowered in the anime (read: too big). It almost always hits, and Piplup can use it as a shield to any attack.

Not to mention giving Whirlpool to a pokemon who already knows the other overpowered move a'la BIDE.

CyberCubed, that is the single most smartest thing anyone has said about anything so far regarding this episode! O_O

And I agree! With all of the stuff the writers have been doing in the anime, they've been trying to give a sense of realism to the Pokémon world while also trying to capture the strategy the games require. That's all.

It's all about trying to make some realism. Which I don't see as a problem personally.

I personally can't wait to see this episode. May vs. Zoey then vs. Dawn oughta be intense.

Any pics from this terrible new opening?? I am so glad Dawn won, she desesrved this after a long time of losses. I was a bit dissapointed that it was only 1 on 1 and not 4 on 4.

Of course it was 1 vs 1, that's how the contests always are. I know that Dawn needed a win, I just wish that it didn't involve her beating someone with far more exp and skill, unless May went easy on her. After all, look at how long it took May to finally beat Drew.

I can see where Dawn would need this win, but beating May was not the most realistic way to go. Just because Glaceon is the least experienced of May's team does not mean that it is not experienced at all - it has been doing contests since it was an Eevee.

^lol well it did beat Brock's evolved, more experianced Marshtomp with next to no battle training in it's first contest, so now it knows how it feels to lose to something similar, only piplup was trained well to battle lol.

Well when they first met May ALMOST beat Drew, but TR interrupted.
